WONDERFUL WORKS OF THE CBEATOR, The mariner who first crossed tho Central Atlantic in seitT.i ,( a new world, was niluii'hhcd when, on tho lih H-ptember, 1 !!! . he found himself iu Iho mi.lrttol that great bunk of sen weed the sen-weed raendow of Q.j. do the 8 irnuussa sen. which, with a varying breadth nf 1011 lo 3hl milei, stretches over I wonty -five degrM-a of U'itude, covering '.'fit) 0l)0 square HMfm iii BTiiinio, mho n iiu-je ii lunig garden, m which cotirnlrss myriad of minute nniniala tind food and shelter.

The cold air seriously sll'ccts vegetation ntoug tlio whole of the coast; t Iho same time that tho cold stream ruisea fogs ami minis, which not only conceal the shore nnd perplex the navigator, but extend in land aU, and materially modify tho climate. The beautiful tii brnfieent dimeter of modifying inftunnre becomes not only apparent, but most impressive when wo o insider, as Ibe rain-map of the world show us, that on the const of Peru no rain over falls, and that, like the desert of S iharn, it ought there fore to bo condemned to perpetual barrenness. But in consoqiienco ot the cold sip-am thus tunning along its border " iho atmosphere loses its transparency, and tlm son is ob'curo for month together.

GOEinE UPON LORD BYRON- i.oun nrnoN was aitojiultier In ie dark a tout linn- self. He lived most pnioiiately from Jay to day, and he never know and car.d what ho was ubuul. Indulging himself willi every license, and approving of nothing in others, it was natural itml he should I.bhI war with himself, and Ihe world with him. From ibe very beginning, ho offended tho most eminent wtiters wnu his " Kuglitti llsrds nnd Hcilch Iteviowers." At u la'er period, he cnu'd n it livo with I hi in with out taking a step backwards, and revoking some ul tho boiler thinrs ho had said, in his works ha con tinued Ins opposition ami censure; ho attacked tho a ate and Uiurch. I Ins mconsiderato opposition com polled him, at length, to leave Engloud, ami, in Ihe o .urio ol tune, it would huvo driven him out of huropo. hverythtng was too narrow for him. En joying as he did ihe most unlimited personal liberty, lie n ii uimion opprosflcu! " mm ino world was a prison. IU wont lo Greece, not from bis own freo will, but because his falio position to tho world compelled him to take that step. His renouncing all tradition, and all patriotism, was nis ruin, anu nis revolutionary tendencies, and his gilnilon ol nvnd, prevented a proper deYcioiiement of ma in l ies, j nis eternal opposition ami censure is, moreover, highly ibMogaioiy to bis mcellent works, such ns ih- y nre. For not only d es iho reader share ihe poet's discomfort, but all Hits opposition tends In upganon, anu ueganon is nouiinp. wirnt can be the advantage of saying that bad things are bad I And wnen i say mat good things are bad, 1 do a great deal of harm. Whoever would do good iu tho world ouifht mil to deal in censure, no ouvhl not to pay anv atten tiou to what is w nm u. and he otmhl alwavs to do ilmt which is good. We ought not to deslroy, but wo ought to construct what may be pleasing to humanity. leou nymn is io no considered as n man. as nn Englishman, and ns a great genius. Ho derives his goon quniiiiMs imm in quality n a man ; his bad qual ine aio owing to bis being an Englishman and a peer of the realm. Hit genius is incommensurable. All Englishmen, as ucli, nro wiibout reflection. DisBipaiion and party spirit prevent nil quiet develop ment. Hut limy ore gre.it n praciical men. Lord Hymn, for instance, wns never nble to - fleet on himself, und n llootiuiis generally were by no nionur W forte, a is proved by his motio i "Plenty of money and no government," tor plenty of money makes iu fact no government. But ho succeeds in nil ho produces, nnd of him it may be atd that Inspiration supplies the Vrint of re flection. He was always a poet, nnd henro what came from the man, and chiefly wh it crtmo from his heart, wns excellent. Ho came by his nie-es as women come by pretty children ; they do not think of ihom, aud do not know how or in whit way. His is a great and innate senilis, and I nava never known uf any one who possessed true poetlu power to sucn an extent as nt. to nis conceptions ol the world, and his clear view uf tho oust, he is as sreat as Stinks poare. Hut Shakapcare's puro individuality is more powerful, liyron knew this, and that is the reason why he does not say much about Shakspeare, though he had whole scenes from his plays in his memory.

He did not ignore Pope, nrcause he had no reason to fear him. Ho rospo uiuj, anu quotes uim on au occasions, lur he is well aware thai 1'opo is a mere wall compared lo him. His high rank, as an English peer, was vcrv obnox ious to iiyron. Every genius is hampered by tho outer world, and much more so a genius whoso lot is cast in a high position, and who is encumbered with wealth. A certain middle state is most congenial to fTA.ni...

But as it was, he had it In his power to do all he wished to do. to follow iho impulse of the moment, and this entangled him in numberless q isrrels. Besides, how could a man. of high rank hive respect and consideration for any oiuer class i Mo gave utteranco to every movement of his soul, and he was consequently always en gnged in a conflict with the world. I t Is a curious fact, that a great portion nf the life of a high-born and wenlthy Englishman is spent in elopements and duels. Lord Byron himself tells ns that his father ran away with three women. Under such circumstances, how can a man be expected to be a steady sou? Ho lived always in a state of nuture, and ho must aiwuyanavo been sensible of the necossity of self de- lenco. Hence bis practice of pistol shooting. He might expect a challenge at ever? hour in tho dav He could not livo a solitary life; hence, in spite of alt in wuiiDsicauuea, no was very indulgent to bis companion. For a poet, he was really as quiet as n lamb. Byron would bo much greater as a poet if all bis opposition hod vented itself in parliament. But ns he scarcely came to make a speech, he kept all his mveo uvea ngnmst nis ininon iii uis own heart, nnd nothing was left to hira but to work them up into poetry. A great many instances of Byron's negative spirit may " "cbibmbu as apeecna uut oj uoor$. Byron's Cain shows how tnis.ilisfjir.orv thn niuirli doctrine was to n fine mind like his, and how he struggled by means of that piece to emancipate himself Imm a doctrine which had been forced noon him. The English clergy have no reason lo bo grateful lo Bjrou i women are capital. Women, indeed, is thn omy vessel into wincn we moderns may pour our idea- ably. Homer has anticipated everything else in his Achilles and Odysseus; tlio bruvesl man aud l lie wiaent. Although Byron died at on early ago, it cntinot bo said that literature lot t much, liyron could not go farther Ho hnd reached th) summit of hia creative power, and however much bo might huvo written, be could not have enlarged tho limits which were fixed for Ids genius.

I may have something further to say on this question in ihe course of a mouth or two.

I have groat respect for some of tho momhors of tho Supremo Conn and would bo very far from intimating that any improper motives have influenced their judgment! in this case. But it does seem to me thnt iho judicial tyUcm of the Locoloco party holds out every possible temptation tu induce the Judge to disregard his duly and the law. They openly proclaim that Courts must " respect public opinion " nnd " oboy tho will uf the people! " If this bo sound d ictriue what p.'otection is them fur Ihe minority f If it b mtaulMiec, has not Iho majority abtolute and denpotic power to oppress nnd to plunder the minority 7 Constitutions nnd statutes will avail nothing, former decisions will nvait nilhiug. there will he no such thing known as thfl authority of tau to protect porsou or property I Ono would think that tho idea of auttliug loyal con- troversie between men, by an nppeal to public opinion would beao absurd and monstrous, that no mau would two iho presumption tu advocate it. A man cannot be a judge in htsuwn case; this is tho (list and moat important reason why G ivernments urn necossnry among men. The Judge must have no inter eat iu tho cuse, and ho must bo impartial. This is tlmprnticiion that llio citizen Ins under a constitutional government against tho arbitrary aud unjust exorcise of poAtr by the government ngauist the unlawful exercias of authority by the majority. Without this, nil power in & State, whether exercised by ono man, or by iho mul. in mi e, is arbitrury, despotic and absolute. This would be tho case if legal controversies woro all submitted to tho decision of the peoplo. But the Locofoco system is much Worse than this. If the pub-He should give sufficient attention to all leal controversies lo become well informed In regard to their merits, it is probable that its judgment would gener ally be right, though Bomotimei (as nt Erie !) even the people will go wrong, when Ihey ntlempt to act as Judges. Hut this 1 say is not tho sysloin practiced by the Locofoco. They hold that the Judges must obey the mandates of tho parly Uaderi who assemble in Convention at the Capitol. It ia not the decision of a majority of thepeopte, nor of (he majority of tho locofoco party, that directs tho Judgo; it is merely tho behest of a majority at the party leadert nt a party Convention ! I see that your new paper at Columbus, the State Democrat, 1 believe you call it, openly advnettes this monstrous doctrine. It goes for partixan Judge who shall be responsible to the Conventions of the party! I think tho prmciplo involved in this controversy la of more importance than all Iho other political questions now at issue. If wo are to destroy Iho checks and balances established by our father in our system, it is impossible for ui to maintain our free institmtuns ; and the most important of these checks, is an impartial and indipf.ndent Judiciart. But, Mr. Journal, you must excuse me ; when I began I was going lo say something of the peculiarities of these Yankees. All these difficulties, affecting as I havo said, their consciences and their pockets, ihey hnVd brought upon themselves by giving nid aud comfort, directly and indirectly, to the Licnfocus. They are deaih on Slavery, and they havo organized, and talked, and resolvod, and built platforms, uutil thoy have got into a position that ihey cannot act with other to do anything ; and of themselves, they are so insignificant in numbers and roputatlou that thoy can do nothing. When a real practical question comes up iu rogard iu slavery, the Free 3 dlors or Free Democrats, un account uf iho unpopularity of their advocacy, ulway injure tho cause uf freedom. Thoy, by a corrupt and disgraceful bargain with the Locofoco, put Chase into the United States Senate.

All Englishmen, as ucli, nro wiibout reflection. DisBipaiion and party spirit prevent nil quiet develop ment. Hut limy ore gre.it n praciical men.

But ho succeeds in nil ho produces, nnd of him it may be atd that Inspiration supplies the Vrint of re flection. He was always a poet, nnd henro what came from the man, and chiefly wh it crtmo from his heart, wns excellent. Ho came by his nie-es as women come by pretty children ; they do not think of ihom, aud do not know how or in whit way. His is a great and innate senilis, and I nava never known uf any one who possessed true poetlu power to sucn an extent as nt. to nis conceptions ol the world, and his clear view uf tho oust, he is as sreat as Stinks poare.

Besides, how could a man. of high rank hive respect and consideration for any oiuer class i Mo gave utteranco to every movement of his soul, and he was consequently always en gnged in a conflict with the world. I t Is a curious fact, that a great portion nf the life of a high-born and wenlthy Englishman is spent in elopements and duels. Lord Byron himself tells ns that his father ran away with three women. Under such circumstances, how can a man be expected to be a steady sou? Ho lived always in a state of nuture, and ho must aiwuyanavo been sensible of the necossity of self de- lenco. Hence bis practice of pistol shooting. He might expect a challenge at ever? hour in tho dav He could not livo a solitary life; hence, in spite of alt in wuiiDsicauuea, no was very indulgent to bis companion. For a poet, he was really as quiet as n lamb. Byron would bo much greater as a poet if all bis opposition hod vented itself in parliament. But ns he scarcely came to make a speech, he kept all his mveo uvea ngnmst nis ininon iii uis own heart, nnd nothing was left to hira but to work them up into poetry. A great many instances of Byron's negative spirit may " "cbibmbu as apeecna uut oj uoor$. Byron's Cain shows how tnis.ilisfjir.orv thn niuirli doctrine was to n fine mind like his, and how he struggled by means of that piece to emancipate himself Imm a doctrine which had been forced noon him. The English clergy have no reason lo bo grateful lo Bjrou i women are capital. Women, indeed, is thn omy vessel into wincn we moderns may pour our idea- ably. Homer has anticipated everything else in his Achilles and Odysseus; tlio bruvesl man aud l lie wiaent.

Aud notwithstanding tho counting-house nature f my pursuit hero, It is probable that instead of the riein breudatulla occasioned by llio warlike news from all Europe forming my theme, I vrjll note, iu neral, tho doings in Washington ns, indeed, ibat city 1b nothing more limn an "adjunct" of this South ern metropolis. The facilities, as you are well awaro, r acquiring all tho news from the Capitol, from Hjrces equally as reliable ns " X " and " Ion ' of the Sun, nukes a letter from lh point as much lo bo do- sired as if it really were written at ihe four-sided table in the ante room of tho Naiioual Hotel. Hut to business: Congress, you know, have been laboring with the usual assiduity from three to fivo days oich week. Such important subject as the "hard " and "soft" question comes in for a largo sham uf talking business- Then ihe Nebraskaquestion threatens to aflVrd matter for a great deal of talk all of which might have been peaceably avoided, but for the perspiring politicians ( ' thank thee, Jew, for thatl word, ) and the pitiful hirelings who are employed lo write Ihem "np" for the Presidency. I may have something further to say on this question in ihe course of a mouth or two. You have doubtless noticed the debs to which sprang upon the Erie difficulty, and it is probable you en- loyed tho style in which the matter was ahown up by two of (he Representatives of your Stato. Mr. Camp bell (who by Ihe way is a trump In the Huuiu) was rayther severe on the "peninsular city." As a tem porary Baltimoreau, I huvo been disposed lo quarrel with his opinions in the case and while I cannot sympathize wiih the pottic at not, I must commend the disposition of the EH ins tn favor the "trade" of Philadelphia and this city. It is only carrying out the spirit of " compromise " to divide the western trudo wiih the eastern and son thorn commercial marls, and not permit New York and Boston to monopolize the whulo nf it ! At length llio nattiro of Bedini's mission lo this country has been made public. He is simply common ded to tho civilities of tho President and Secretary Marcy, but tho I u tier from Pope Piua lakes occasion, as ho has " been intrusted by divine commission, with tho care of the Lord's flock throughout tho world," to "earnestly entreat the President to extend his " pro teciion to tho Caihnlicif," and " shield" ihem with his "(io wer and authority Bedini, it app-nrs, yet remains iu. Washington, nnd tho following bit uf toadyism, taken from a gossiping article iu a hebdomadal of (hat city, describing the P. M. General s levee, represents him as a lion : " I will first mention M. Bedini, Iho Nuncio of the Pope, who has lately been attracting so much attention throughout the United States, His dress was very peculiar. Ho wore short breeches, lung stockings and shoebucklos. On the crown of his heud was a close filling cap, but his beautiful hair could bo seen about his brow, temples and neck, his face beamed with a kitidly expression, and I do not believe one word of the tale that are told of hi more than barbarian cru elty, About h i neck wns a massive gold chain, and a jewelled cross of great value rested upon his bosom. The diamonds with which it was set were of verv large size, and as the light fell upon it, they seemed lo emu a thousand heanuiul rays, und 1 fancied it a representation of the beautiful charities which eman ate Irotn the pious nnd pure heart ol a man dedicated to the servico of God. M. Bedini was treated with marked respect by all, Senators, Diplomats and Rep resentatives, as well as Indies fair, many of whom were presented io mm But, as I mny write sunn again, for the present das ui UtiNUO.

Wi:h their characteristic liberality the editors of that model national newspaper, the National Intelligencer, repuMsh both sides of the recent debate in the Sen- ato, with Ihe aldreasof the Northern Democratic Free Hollers to the people. With the contracted viows of some of the olher Washington papers, they could easily have not found room for more than what suited thoir own notions.

GENUG FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. OLvrKLAHD. Feb. 3 1854. Ed. 0. S.

I find the people hero, are vory elaborate and elo. quent in their comments upon " Nebraska," Erie, und tho late decision of the Supreme Court on the tax law, These are great questions for discussion and debate up here in " Yankee dnodledom."

But this tiling of making men, free American, Democratic citizens, pay tnxe( upon whnt they oire this, this these Yankee Loco- cos say is a thing thoy never euPatcl mil und as the L-ittofocos are qoitu as much in dobtns the Whigs they ro .ard it as the unkindest cut of nil ! I have groat respect for some of tho momhors of tho Supremo Conn and would bo very far from intimating that any improper motives have influenced their judgment! in this case. But it does seem to me thnt iho judicial tyUcm of the Locoloco party holds out every possible temptation tu induce the Judge to disregard his duly and the law. They openly proclaim that Courts must " respect public opinion " nnd " oboy tho will uf the people! " If this bo sound d ictriue what p.'otection is them fur Ihe minority f If it b mtaulMiec, has not Iho majority abtolute and denpotic power to oppress nnd to plunder the minority 7 Constitutions nnd statutes will avail nothing, former decisions will nvait nilhiug. there will he no such thing known as thfl authority of tau to protect porsou or property I Ono would think that tho idea of auttliug loyal con- troversie between men, by an nppeal to public opinion would beao absurd and monstrous, that no mau would two iho presumption tu advocate it. A man cannot be a judge in htsuwn case; this is tho (list and moat important reason why G ivernments urn necossnry among men. The Judge must have no inter eat iu tho cuse, and ho must bo impartial. This is tlmprnticiion that llio citizen Ins under a constitutional government against tho arbitrary aud unjust exorcise of poAtr by the government ngauist the unlawful exercias of authority by the majority. Without this, nil power in & State, whether exercised by ono man, or by iho mul. in mi e, is arbitrury, despotic and absolute. This would be tho case if legal controversies woro all submitted to tho decision of the peoplo. But the Locofoco system is much Worse than this. If the pub-He should give sufficient attention to all leal controversies lo become well informed In regard to their merits, it is probable that its judgment would gener ally be right, though Bomotimei (as nt Erie !) even the people will go wrong, when Ihey ntlempt to act as Judges. Hut this 1 say is not tho sysloin practiced by the Locofoco. They hold that the Judges must obey the mandates of tho parly Uaderi who assemble in Convention at the Capitol. It ia not the decision of a majority of thepeopte, nor of (he majority of tho locofoco party, that directs tho Judgo; it is merely tho behest of a majority at the party leadert nt a party Convention ! I see that your new paper at Columbus, the State Democrat, 1 believe you call it, openly advnettes this monstrous doctrine. It goes for partixan Judge who shall be responsible to the Conventions of the party! I think tho prmciplo involved in this controversy la of more importance than all Iho other political questions now at issue. If wo are to destroy Iho checks and balances established by our father in our system, it is impossible for ui to maintain our free institmtuns ; and the most important of these checks, is an impartial and indipf.ndent Judiciart. But, Mr. Journal, you must excuse me ; when I began I was going lo say something of the peculiarities of these Yankees. All these difficulties, affecting as I havo said, their consciences and their pockets, ihey hnVd brought upon themselves by giving nid aud comfort, directly and indirectly, to the Licnfocus. They are deaih on Slavery, and they havo organized, and talked, and resolvod, and built platforms, uutil thoy have got into a position that ihey cannot act with other to do anything ; and of themselves, they are so insignificant in numbers and roputatlou that thoy can do nothing. When a real practical question comes up iu rogard iu slavery, the Free 3 dlors or Free Democrats, un account uf iho unpopularity of their advocacy, ulway injure tho cause uf freedom. Thoy, by a corrupt and disgraceful bargain with the Locofoco, put Chase into the United States Senate. What influence has ho there upon ibis great question of Slavery in Nebraska t Thoso men might have given to tho North and to freedom the benefit of thn commanding influence and gigantic intellect of Thomas Bwing in the Senate! But ye would not Now as to this mob at Erie.

Thoy llko talkmg, but prefer to do it all tkemttlwi, and in this, as in most other occupations, thoy are pretty expeditions, and they will not listen at all to any man unless he goes "right a long."
